Is anyone else as surprised as I am?

My question is if our country is so great now, then why is this a reality, when in most (if not all), of the previous years since the 180 limit quota was created, these two classes would easily be full by then? I don't recall any years this century where racers with only 1 Grade Point could enter the biggest drag race of the year???? Interesting....

Gary, you may want to check your facts. The last two years, the quota's where not reach. In fact, there are more cars entered now in Super Stock than the last two seasons. Stock entries have more cars than 2 years ago, and will easily pass last years with 4 weeks to go and if you include FSS, Stock is over 180. With a 180 quota, many wait to the last minute to register, I though that was pretty well known.
